To Qin Xiu, Ye Jian and he knew each other naturally and they were not as formal as with the Xueyu unit. It was a little casual.
After he finished his sentence, he let the soldiers go up first. When it was Ye Jian’s turn to get in the car, he gently pulled her wrist. “Sit with me, let them get in first.”
Xia Jinyuan, who was going to help her get on the car first, stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Qin Xiu. “Her arm is injured. We will deal with it in the car. Translator Qin, you should let her sit with me.”
This time around, Qin Xiu recognized Xia Jinyuan. He was his mother’s ideal son-in-law.
Based on that alone, Qin Xiu was gentle and polite. “Sorry, I was reckless.” He turned to Ye Jian and said, “Get in the car first and let them check on your wound. If you need to go to the hospital, we can immediately arrange for another car to bring you there.”
Ye Jian didn’t want that much trouble and raised her arm. “It’s just a bruise. I can handle it myself. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”
With the help of the car’s light, Qin Xiu saw a burn wound on her arm. That was a stray bullet hitting a hard object, which brought down the force and power of the bullet as it changed its trajectory. That wound belonged to the lightest category of gunshot wounds.
“Then we will deal with the wound on the car. There is a medicine box in the car.” Qin Xiu had seen gunshot wounds himself and had suffered a bruise before. He knew that there was no need for a hospital visit and didn’t continue speaking. Xia Jinyuan, who was already in the car, pulled Ye Jian by the wrist and brought her into the car.
The medicine box had everything. Xia Jinyuan clamped Ye Jian’s left arm between his knees and treated her wound with a cotton ball that was moistened with saline solution. All of this happened while the car was shaking. “Don’t move. Hold your arm steady. Don’t let the tweezers scratch you.”
Qin Xiu, who was sitting alone, heard that and was getting up to support Ye Jian’s shoulder. He then saw that she had already held onto the back of the seat.
After the kidnapping, the rain of bullets, and the injury, he still couldn’t see the slightest difference in her facial expressions. Not a trace of fear. It was as if she had already been used to all that.
That’s a bit strange. How can a student get used to a rain of bullets?
Qin Xiu couldn’t help but glance again. His gaze landed on Ye Jian’s back and there was a hint of doubt in his indifferent eyes.
“The wound is not deep. There’s no need for stitches, but it will leave a scar.” Xia Jinyuan remarked and rinsed it with a bottle of saline and put on a bit of anti-inflammatory medicine before wrapping it with sterile gauze. “Don’t let it get into contact with water or it will be inflamed.”
He raised his eyes and instructed Ye Jian. After putting away the medical supplies, he looked at Qin Xiu. He realized that Qin Xiu was looking at Ye Jian, and his mouth was raised up, revealing a slight smile.
Qin Xiu bowed his head slightly and retracted his gaze.
Both of them were of good family backgrounds and were princes from the capital city. Their nobility was not something that others could learn.
They were born with such nobility and they had it engraved in their bones. No one could ever attain this.
A calm gaze was exchanged with a slight smile, and he then looked away as usual.
Qin Xiu had narrowed his eyes slightly. The son of the Xia family is good. It’s just that the matriarchs of both families are at odds with one another. If they wanted to marry off the Qin family’s daughter to the Xia family, it would be hard to convince the Old Madam.
